Dean Smith is set to bring star midfielder Todd Cantwell in from the cold after he sealed his quickfire return to management with Norwich.

Smith was confirmed as Norwich head coach on Monday on a two-and-a-half-year deal, following his departure from Aston Villa earlier this month.

He will be joined at Carrow Road by his No 2 Craig Shakespeare and will start work on Wednesday.

Attacking midfielder Cantwell will be among the players at Smith’s disposal.

Cantwell was one of Norwich’s standout performers in their last Premier League campaign but was frozen out under Daniel Farke, training and playing with the Under 23s.
